I would believe however that the government or CIA does have a backdoor into Google's database. As we progress further and further, that seems like more of an inevitability.

I might be mixed up on what I said about the CIA funding Google. I was probably thinking of something I read about a CIA/Facebook connection. Although again, who knows if it's true or not.

I think you are right- it's highly likely that the CIA has a back door into Google.
